Not Looking Good for Amanda

posted by on March 27 at 14:48 PM

For those keeping up with the story (or education) of Amanda Knox…

…the big news is this:

Rudy Guede, the Ivory Coast immigrant suspected of involvement in the murder of the British student Meredith Kercher in Perugia last November, has incriminated the two other suspects, Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito, by telling police that they were also at the scene of the crime.

Mr Guede is the only one of the three to have admitted he was at the whitewashed cottage on the evening of the murder, while insisting that he did not commit the murder. Ms Knox, an American student from Seattle who shared the cottage with Ms Kercher and two female Italian students, and Mr Sollecito, her Italian boyfriend, maintain they spent the evening and the night of the killing at his flat in Perugia.

However Mr Guede, who was questioned for three hours yesterday, said he had seen both Ms Knox and Mr Sollecito at the cotttage. He told investigators that he had seen Ms Knox “at the door of the house” and that he had seen Mr Sollecito inside it brandishing a knife. He is reported to have given police a description of the clothes Ms Knox and Mr Sollecito were wearing.

It was bound to happen. Now maybe some truth can come out of this mess, this maze, the haze of youth and madness.

Since Mr. Mudede has never talked with anyone associated with Amanda's case and not with the family, perhaps it is appropriate to report that Mr. Guede has again changed his story about what happened that night. He first said he never saw Ms. Knox or Mr. Solliceto, and is now telling a different story. He also sais, according to the reports from Italy, that he didn't actually see Amanda Knox, but heard her voice. If so, how could he know what she was wearing. Probably anyone watching TV in Italy could describe what she was wearing as she was photographed extensively. I would also like to add the statment that her family issued today. I work with the family and strangely, have never heard from Mr. Mudede requesting to speak to the family or Amanda's lawyers about the case. The statement from the family is as follows.
"Information being attributed to Rudy Guede regarding the investigation into the murder of Meredith Kercher is impossible to believe. There is no evidence to support his suggestion that Amanda and Raffaele Sollecito were present when Meredith was murdered. Guede lacks credibility just as his current statement lacks credibility.

We find it quite interesting that this information comes forward just a few days before a Supreme Court hearing in Rome to determine whether or not Amanda should continue to be held in the Le Capanne jail in Perugia.

Guede said before that he did not see Amanda and Rafaelle that night, and is now telling a different story.

We know that Amanda is innocent. There is no evidence against her, and we await her release."

@3,

OK, then why did she implicate a truly innocent man?

@3 I thought the authorities also had images taken by the CCTV at the parking structure above her house showing Amanda entering her house that night. With those images plus Amanda's own blood found at the crime scene, I thought it was already bascially proven she was at the house before the other suspect even confirmed it.
